Is Omaha Ben's best preseason win of his head coaching career? @ Miss St. was good in Year 1, but I believe they were NIT that year.

Stacking Quad 1 wins.

The one thing I can't understand about this year's team is Ben's obsession with playing Patterson for big minutes. When you look at his stats beyond his atrocious shooting, I get that he appears to be a relatively steady-handed PG with a nearly 4-1 Assist/TO ratio. But my goodness, what's not...

Stacking Quad 1 wins

Pitino took the job for which he wasn't qualified. It was a fantastic opportunity, and he pounced on it like Ben did. Pitino shouldn't be seen in a brighter light because of his "trepidation." I'm sure he was well aware he wasn't deserving (I think Ben also made public comments along the same...

Faulting Ben for #1 isn't fair. I could apply to be the Twitter CEO, but if Elon Musk takes me seriously, that's on him. If you could apply for your dream job and earn millions doing it but only had a 5% chance of landing it, I'd bet you'd still interview. I'm sure Ben was just as surprised as...

In Ben’s defense (he doesn’t deserve it), the stall offense was also a staple of the Pitino and Tubby regimes as well. The biggest head scratcher was Betts playing all those crucial minutes when he hasn’t even been in the rotation all year. We all thought it was because Femi was hurt, then...

lol did you catch Ben was trying to sub Patterson back in? Did I see that right?

I once spotted my brother in the top row of Williams doing the rouser by himself postgame after demolishing someone 10 or so years ago. He literally went to the game by himself. Tonight I texted him during the game about how brutal Brennan Rigsby looked and he replied, “Who is Brennan Rigsby?”

I appreciate the explanation on this. I hope he plays, personally, but I also feel for a guy watching a ship sink, knowing his impact won't be felt until it's too late.

It's not surprising and highlights the risk of playing garbage teams closely. I don't see how we can dig ourselves out of this, especially given the caliber of ball we've seen displayed thus far. Mike Mitchell isn't the savior who will move us up 100 spots in the discussion for a tourney bid...

Must be nice.

Since the exhibition games, I could tell this team was going to be challenged offensively for stretches. But man, I did not expect this. My biggest frustrations with Ben: Ten seniors are on the team, most of them guards. The lack of poise and purpose offensively is baffling. How can guys...

Had foot surgery—projected December return.

There was a play where Betts got the ball on the wing. Odukale cut on the weakside to the hoop, and Betts didn't see him. He was wide open for about five seconds, jumping up and down, pleading for the pass, but Betts never recognized what was happening. Femi's facial expression as Betts passed...

Starters 9/10 Reserves: 0/7

All Ben needs to do is play the guys who bring the defensive intensity, and this team will be all right!

Future opponent, Wichita State had a solid W on the road at Western Kentucky. I saw that WKU was projected to finish 2nd in the CUSA this year (tourney team last year). Wichita shot the 3-ball well and had some bruisers, but they lacked poise. They struggled with a 1/3/1 press and shot free...

I was pulling my hair out as we continued to rush 3 as Altmyer picked us apart. Great win. I also loved the fake punt attempt. B+

I just stated what I saw (the good and the bad). Past BJ teams were one injury away from disaster. That shouldn't be the case this year, although Frank Mitchell's injury is probably one of the worst possible, as he's the only true center. Thank goodness we don't play anyone with a pulse until...
